The PREPARE/ENRICH Group Program has a format that is adaptable and easy to implement into any type of couple group. Upgrade your PREPARE/ENRICH account
and you'll receive online access to the Instructor's Guide (PDF), a new Couple's Report - Group Edition, and an Instructor's
PowerPoint. When offering PREPARE/ENRICH in a group format, you will use these resources to encourage discussion and
effectively structure the feedback for a group setting.

A recent independent study found couples who participated in a PREPARE/ENRICH group program exhibited
positive gains in knowledge, felt more confident in their relationship, engaged in more positive conflict
management behaviors, and felt more satisfied with their relationship. Plus, the benefits for those completing
the group process were just as powerful as those who completed the feedback privately with a facilitator
(Futris and colleagues, 2011).

consider establishing a Marriage Mentor Program
to help premarital couples get more preparation or married couples get the assistance
they need for healthier relationships.
